A 19-year-old girl has died in hospital a week after a freak crash left her two friends in a critical condition.
Shalaney Velasquez, 19, died on Sunday as a result of injuries sustained when the car she was a passenger in crashed on the M5, in Sydney's southwest, on April 21.
Emergency services were called to the scene, between Belmore Road and King Georges Road, about 6.25pm following reports a car crashed into a stationary bus.
